I always read with great interest MaheshMurthy's column in Businessworld. I got a little more curious about him when I read sometime back that he was involved in the creation of the Amazon.com campaign in its formative years and understood his background as a college dropout, code writer, worked as a door-to-door salesman, and been an advertising copywriter in India and Hong Kong. He also directed and produced a set of films that repositioned MTV as an Indian brand. Fascinated by the Internet since 1992, Mahesh moved to a Silicon Valley marketing consultancy in 1994, where he worked to design and launch some of the bellwether online brands. He also worked as head of marketing for e-commerce software vendor iCat, later acquired by Intel.
I came across Mahesh Murthy's detailed profile - here - Very illustrious profile indeed - currently CEO of Passionfund and past associations with the likes of Yahoo, Amazon, MTV India, Channel V and also as a board member for TIE,Bombay ,business columnist etc etc.... Also noticed that his birthday is Sep 11... A very interesting nay inspiring profile indeed. |
